Instructors have an instrumental role in any of the BBST® training programs. Their level of involvement ensures you focus on skill building beyond just understanding or memorizing the material. Their software testing experience ranges from 10 to 30 years in the field.
Built for online first
The very first BBST® courses were designed to be available online for both university students and working professionals. It combines the rigorous academic depth of the material with the flexibility that only online and asynchronous study can offer.
Asynchronous learning
BBST® was created with the working professionals in mind; that is why the activities calendar is highly flexible. There are two deadlines per week but they don’t require specific hours when you need to be online.
A REMARKABLE PLACE IN THE SOFTWARE TESTING INDUSTRY
The Black Box Software Testing course series was created by two of the most remarkable people who defined the software testing industry of today and continues to be shaped by renowned and highly influential professionals.
In 2005, Cem Kaner and Rebecca Fiedler released the first BBST® course. What continued was a never-ending work to improve and further develop educational materials that will enhance the practice of software testing worldwide.
